Abstract

Geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs) and incompatible lattice deformations are directly related and characterized by a gradient of the elastic distortion. This measure of GND density can play a natural role in non-local theories of plasticity. Issues concerning hardening and boundary conditions are addressed in the setting of a simple theory.
